the Hotel Arcadia. Every advantage of

Its natural advantages are climatic and
scenic. The days and nights are warm, the
temperature changing but little in the
twenty.four hours. On the::oeean side of the
hotel, in the sun rooms, the temperature is
from rs to 80 degrees. At present writing,
on the land side, on the ranches, it is from
81 to ~. Hundreds of people battle daily

most Gel, b ated surf beaches in America.
The beach stretches for miles along the

shame and suffering this measure pro-
poses for its victim and his friends. We
are but few in number, men that have
fought the Indians and subdued the buff
falo risked our lives, sacrificed our con-
venience-and now, these dangers past,
are trying in all good faith to make homes
for ourselves and children. Remembrance
of these things, "of what we are, of
what we've been," is sufficient to fire every
heart against oppression and wrong from
any and every quarter, and the legisla'
ture of Texas should feel proud to have
such people to legislate for, and her pulse
beat high for our success, as mother for
her son who is battling, successfully bat
thing, against great odds.
Our judges may be impeached; foreign
officers put over us. We may be carried
to distant counties for trial, all of which
is seriously talked of, and for this reason
there will be deep, deep sympathy for
everyone who may fall victim to the
condition of affairs. All that we want is
peace, and all that will make peace is to
be known as quiet, law-abiding people,
bailding up churches and school houses,
towns and villages, planting orchards and
forest trees, thus making homes as pleas
ing and comfortable as possible. Peace!
All we want is to live under officers of our
own election (the right of trial at home
not to be taken away to live in the Pan
handle. "To mingle with the quiet of her
skies and never gaze on her with apathy"

L 1lG IL Will UuG SOVSIuOI.
The drouth committee yesterday
finished their report and turned it over to

ness of their time they were little hur-
ried in making the report. The report
states that the committee took the lowest
number of the destitute as basis for ap-
portionment. They fixed the total num-
Der of destitute at 27,75O. 1t was estima-
ted that each would be allowed 1925.
The following is list of counties and
the amounts appropriated to each:
Lampasas, 1925; Brown, $2,43750; Run
nells, 1915; Coleman, $2,437.50; Callahan,

Montague, $3,250; Hardeman, $l,625; Ar
cher, $3.50.
Total expense of distributing the fund
was $1278.55 including salaries and travel
ing expenses of the committee. Thirty
four counties were visited.
The drouth belt is we'll defined running
from northeast to southwest, the eastern
line embracing the counties of Somer-
vile, Hood, Wise, Parker and Montague,
west of that line the drouth has been very
general Testimony was taken from all
classes of citizens. The report compii-
ments citizens of the drouht district as
being determined and industrious peo,
pie heroically struggling against their
calamity.

Mu1berrv Sellers.

The character of Mulberry Sellers, is
not an overrated one. 1t is true to nature;
a peculiar nature, it is true, but If it were
not for some of the eccentricities the old
dame produces, we would find an irksome
monotonousness in our intercOursewth our
fellow man that would render existence a
continual fatigue. AS in our daily walks
we meet our Micawbers so do we encoun-
ter his opposite, Sellers. Good-hearted,
honest meaning individuals, whose vaga-
ries amuse and interest US, while we pity,
their Numerically opposite foibles.
In the hands of John L. Raymond, Col.
Sellers is a laughter provoking genius,
whose eternal-springing hope and blind
ness to present poverty gives no room for
pity. The entire interest of the comedy
ceDters in Mulberry Sellers, the
performance being somewhat of a
drag when that individual is
not upon the boards. Such, at least, was
the case last night, though the characters
of Laura Hawkins and Colonel Selby, can
be made, when properly acted, of intense
dramatic effect. Mark Twain's Laura
Hawkins is magnificent conception of a
wronged woman who thirsts for, strives
for, accomplishes her revenge, and it re-
uuires an actress of more than ordinary
ability to properly interpret it. Miss
Tracy fills that portion in which the
"fgure" is important, but her acting fails
to arouse the enthusiasm that should fol-
low the scenes in which great oppor-
tunities are given for superb dramatic
effects.
Then, again, great Improvements can
be made in the trial scene. Sellers is all
right; no room for criticism there, but
the legal gentlemen lack spirit, and do
their work rather like clock-work than as
brilliant professional luminaries engaged
in celebrated case" But the audience
went to see Raymond in Mulberry Sellers,
and they we're repaid. 1t is a rare treat,
and that it was appreciated was evidenced
